TRUE REST

Then Jesus said: “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 

Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30 NIV

How has this quarantine been treating you? I am sure that many will not give me the best answer, your eyes have become tired, you are running out of strength, and perhaps, you have even thought that it is all over. The fear, the frustration, the anxiety, the depression have become your daily response to the present, you are tired because you are simply carrying loads that you should have never taken, you always liked to be in control of everything and now you realize that you will never be able to do so.

Many times, fatigue is the only way to give up and raise our gaze to heaven, to turn to God, today you are tired and God is calling you and telling you, come, I can give you rest.

The rest that comes from God does not mean an absence of problems or that everything is going to change, is not about that. Is about a rest for the soul, his peace ruling your mind and heart, the confidence that, in Him, you will always be safe no matter what happens.

What are you going to do today? Will you continue fighting in your own strength and carrying the same loads or you decide to make a change?

Give your loads to God and receive his yoke which is easy and light. 

God always arrives JUST IN TIME.

P. Eliashc
